Snow in April?

I was going to blog about my beautiful new stove, but that can wait for another day. Instead I am going to complain about the snow. Snow? Really? In mid-April? Are you kidding me? I know it can happen but come on, enough already! At least I am lucky to be able to stay home for the most part (other than taking kids to school and picking them up). The flakes are huge yet coming down fast and sticking to the grass. If it wasn't April, I would be more appreciative of it. It also makes me feel bad for those who have to work outside in it, like my dear sweet hubby who is coming around to check the power lines for trees growing into them. So the furnace is on so we don't freeze, I enjoyed a yummy mug of hot chocolate and I am going to relax here looking out the window and try to let the calm of the snow over take me instead of annoyance of it falling in what should be spring like weather.

What Number Are You?

Ethan

Ethan is finally feeling better! WAHOO! Now if I could just get this seemingly never ending headache turned migraine turned back to headache gone! Plus I think I may be getting a cold, ahhh! Please bring in spring already!!
Anyway, for every ones birthday we let the birthday person decide where they would like to go out to eat (on their birthday). So where Ethan was sick it wasn't until last night when we were finally went out to eat. Of all the places he choose KFC. We tried to talk him into some place else, but it was his birthday and his choice so we went there. Katie refused to eat there so she made herself a pb&j. KIDS! So funny. We are planning a party for him for next Saturday with his friends. Now he just has to decide if the just wants a couple of friends and go to the movies or have a few more friends and do something at home. He hasn't made up his mind yet, so we will see.
On a fun note Ethan is no longer a cubscout and has moved on to the boyscouts. He was initiated last night where the other scouts tied him to a chair. BOYS! So silly! He will receive his arrow of light next Thursday and is looking forward to attend his first scout camping trip next month.

Ethan turns 11!

My first baby, who obvious reasons is no longer a baby, turn 11 today. It's hard to wrap my mind out how quickly he and my other kids have grown. Today, though is all about him. Unfortunately he is sick so, there won't be to much celebrating today but as soon as he is feeling better out hope is to do a small party where he can invite two or three friends have pizza, and go catch a movie. Here's hoping he feels better soon! Love you Ethan! Happy birthday!
